Casey Hayward was back in sweats during Friday’s final practice before the Detroit Lions stroll into town on Sunday as the Green Bay Packers second-year cornerback continues to rehab from his two-month battle with hamstring issues.

Hayward was back in pads on Thursday going through individual drills, but has already been ruled out for Sunday.

The only other two players not practicing Friday were offensive lineman Greg Van Roten and running back James Starks, who have both been ruled out for Sunday, as well.

Outside linebacker Clay Matthews appeared to be taking his full allotment of reps during the portion of practice open to the media.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy will be speaking to the media at approximately 12 p.m. Central Time with injury designations for Sunday.
